Associations between negative mood and binge eating in the laboratory are well-established in adults, but such data are limited in youth. We investigated the relation between mood and binge eating in children using a laboratory feeding paradigm.
Overweight girls, aged 6-12 years, with (BE; n=23) and without (control, CON; n=23) reported objective and/or subjective binge eating underwent both sad and neutral mood inductions, followed by multi-item buffet meals.
The Group × Mood Condition interaction for overall energy intake was non-significant. However, BE girls consumed more energy from fat in the sad condition as compared to the neutral condition. Baseline mood predicted BE girls' likelihood of reporting loss of control during the sad condition test meal.
Results suggest that emotional eating episodes in children reporting aberrant eating may be characterized by the experience of loss of control, rather than the consumption of objectively large amounts of food. Interventions focused on affect regulation may minimize the adverse consequences of pediatric binge eating.
负面情绪与成年人实验室暴食之间的关联已得到充分证实，但此类数据在青少年中有限。我们使用实验室喂养范式研究了儿童的情绪与暴食之间的关系。
超重女孩年龄在 6-12 岁之间，报告有（BE；n=23）和没有（对照，CON；n=23）客观和/或主观暴食，她们经历了悲伤和中性情绪诱导，然后是多道菜的自助餐。
总体能量摄入的组×情绪条件交互作用不显著。然而，与中性条件相比，BE 女孩在悲伤条件下摄入的脂肪能量更多。基线情绪预测 BE 女孩在悲伤条件测试餐中报告失控的可能性。
结果表明，报告异常进食的儿童的情绪化进食可能以失控的体验为特征，而不是客观地摄入大量食物。以调节情绪为重点的干预措施可能会最大限度地减少儿童暴食的不良后果。
